To all whom 2'2 may concern Be it known that we, S's-merit J. llliilsos HHQGUNDER l3. HANSON, citizens oi": the United States, residing at lillsh ro, in the county of Treill, State of North Dakota, have invented certain new and use'l'ul provonients in Drill-Shoes; we do a by declare the following to be it full, clear, and exact description or the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it epperteins to moire and use the some. i

This invention relates to 116W and useful improvements in drill shoes.

A great disadvantage heretofore'experienced in using drill shoes of ordinary type is the clogging of loose straw or Weeds in front'of the shoe which lifts the drilling terminal out of the ground and causes the seeds to be deposited on top of the loose earth. This is also the case in wet weather or when the drill is used in heavy earth.

The object of this invention is to overcome this difficulty by constructing a, drill shoe in such a manner that it Will he diiiicult for weeds or straw to clog in front: or the some and also one which will be comparzitively simple and inexpensive to menutuct-ure, reliable and 'etlieient in. use and readily operated,

Viith the above and other objects in view, this invention resides in the novel features of construction, formations, combinations and arrangements of parts to he hereinafter more fully described, eleimed and illus trated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of our invention. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation thereof. Fig. 8 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. i is e per spect'ive view of one end of the drill shoe, and Fig. 5 is a side elevation of one of the plates removed.

Referring to the accompany ng drawings by similar characters of reference throughout the several views, the numeral 19 notes generally our improved drill shoe which consists of the usual casing 11 formed with the eustomhry vertical bore 12 Whieh extends through the opposite ends thereof, The upper end of the casing 11 is provided with e reervvarclly extending ear 13 for connection with the customary lifting chains w" ile the ops termed (not shown on the drswir 6s glosite end of the sold cos;

for ihgeo'emeiit with usual drag ohzinis which ironi the drawings as the some have no heara similar ear ing upon the invention. The lower end of the casing 11 is formed w ll a forwardly extending Web which extends from the shoulder to point equally distant upon the opposite side of the-lower terminal oi the said casing 11 as is clearly illus rated in l of the drawings. The rear edge i ieexterided portion the Web 15 proieets SlIbSi iZl" 111" gerellel relotion to the bore -lush with the forward side reof. drill ol'etes l8 *oeir oi giposite sides of the Webupper edges contacting; with lE'LCll in retaining the some if st shv imoesired displacement. The extend flush s. shoe 10 as indicated by the numeral 15 for 21 considerable dist-once at which points they are beveled forwardly at :20 the lower point of the w-h 15. The forward edges of the plates 18 extend 130111 the lower point or the web rorvverdly and upwardly as at coiitior 'ii in curvature to the lower forward side of the Web 15 end are seeiired in on is i firmer produce e of the the ordinary 5 drawthe type and which is orhitte ings as the some no invention.
